She obtained her nursing degrees from Kansas City Kansas Community College and Western Governors University and is currently pursuing her master’s in nurse informatics and epidemiology.
“We are pleased that Angie has returned home to Providence and is our new emergency room director,” Jennifer Cannon, RN, chief nursing officer, said. “With more than 25 years of nursing experience, we are fortunate to have her tenured experience as we provide expert care close to home to the residents in this area.”
“The current nursing field is very fluid,” Fincher said. “As nurses we are finding our versatility is more important now than ever.”
